Brazilian Ex-Governor Garotinho Appeals to Inter-American Commission on Human Rights Over Candidacy Rejection

Anthony Garotinho, former governor of Rio de Janeiro, announced he will appeal to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights while awaiting a TSE decision on his rejected candidacy for governor. The TRE-RJ has already rejected his bid, and this move escalates the dispute to an international body, signaling a prolonged legal battle. The TSE's upcoming decision will determine whether he can run in the 2026 election.
